Catch a Fire Movie
2006 and Directed by Philip Noyse (Rabbit proof fence) is the straight forward telling of the tale of Apartheid through the eyes of 2 opponents.
The structure is to play the story straight from beginning to end, but balancing the narrative between the lives of the two protagonists - there is just one narrative, not two equal and opposing viewpoints, but roughly equal time is given to both. Each person is also seen in the context of their own lives, the Boer Colonel is shown to be a reasonable man in his home context while the ANC member is a man with some character faults.
Tim Robbins plays the calm, authoritative Nic Vos who adopts the same attitude while chatting to his kids as when torturing his victims. Derek Luke plays Patrick Chamusso, based on the real life story of an ordinary African who just want to get on with his life, until he is radicalised by a false accusation of involvement in ANC sabotage.
